"The proof is in the pudding"

[Redder Lurtz]

No, you fucking retards. "The proof of the pudding is in the eating" you mongs. And while I'm at it, no fucker is "chomping" at the bit, they're "champing". Wankers.

All that glitters is not gold.

 

I'll kill anyone that says that.

Here's a tip that's never let me down;

If you ever need to murder someone do it while the most educated police are on duty. Then just hide your murder weapon in a pudding, they won't dare look for proof there.

Probably the shittest saying ever. Imagine Eisenhower coming out with shit like that on D Day? You'd shit yourself.

People who describe jobs using generic terms that can be loosely associated with most jobs, it will challenging, you need to be a self-starter, it will be something different. I have had to listen to this in the past for hours on end, and you learn nothing about the actual job you are meant to be doing.

"I'm on tenderhooks".

 

No you fucking are not.

Is it still ok to like eating pudding without any proof?

[Guest The Big Green Bastard]

Got out of the wrong side of the bed.

 

When i was a younger single man my bed was adjacent to 2 walls making it impossible to roll out of the other side, this helped alot when i was blind drunk

I think if we exterminated every human being who said "midrift" instead of "midriff", the world would be a better place.

Did you come up with that off your own back?

 

We should kill all people who misuse idioms in one foul swoop.

I see what you did there; very good.

[Mel Wood]

I'll do my upmost not to use any of those.

[Pony Princess]

No, you fucking retards. "The proof of the pudding is in the eating" you mongs. And while I'm at it, no fucker is "chomping" at the bit, they're "champing". Wankers.

Slept like a baby. Shit myself at 4am and woke up crying.

[Dougie Do'ins]

I'll do my upmost not to use any of those.

If you do, I'll make you laugh the other side of your face.

Too many cocks spoil the broth.

 

Old gay cook saying

[AngryOfTuebrook]

When people talk about "the exception that proves the rule" they usually get the words right, but the meaning wrong.

 

It's the old-fashioned "prove"="test" rather than "prove"="demonstrate the correctness of".

 

Generally, an exception will prove/test a rule and find it wanting.

[MOGLET]

All that glitters is not gold.

 

I'll kill anyone that says that.

 

 

 

Im guessing you will only maim those who say, "All that glistens is not gold" then?

"He's a bit of a card shark"

 

Is he really? Is he a big scary toothy thing in the water with a deck of cards? Or maybe he's a "Card sharp"......

[L19red]

I could care less.

'It's a vicious cycle'

 

No it isn't.

 

And while you're at it stop trying to finish my sentences, shitcunt.

Well, this thread's a bit of a damp squid. I think it's a mute point whether or not people get these phrases correct.

I think you need to be more pacific. To all intense and purposes it has literally wet my appetite.

Interesting, we were taught it meant that the existence of an exception proved that there was a general rule (in the sense of a rule of thumb) because the exception would have no definitional basis because it implicitly refers to the rule.

 

The classic example being, Sixth formers don't have to wear school uniform, being the exception that proved the rule (of thumb), that schoolkids have to wear school uniform.
